(For example, Patent Document 1).

JP 2007-9938 A

  As described above, when the two side lips 83a and 83b are provided in the bearing sealing device, the anti-muddy water performance is increased about twice as compared with the conventional general bearing sealing device. In such a case, further muddy water resistance is required.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a bearing sealing device capable of improving the muddy water resistance performance without causing an increase in weight and a wheel bearing provided with the same.

The bearing sealing device of the present invention comprises:
A bearing sealing device installed at an end of a bearing space between an outer member and an inner member that rotate relative to each other via rolling elements in the bearing,
An annular seal plate and an elastic seal member, which are respectively attached to the inner member and the outer member and face each other,
The seal plate is made of a metal having an L-shaped cross section composed of a cylindrical portion fitted to the outer periphery of the inner member and a standing plate portion rising from an end portion of the cylindrical portion,
The elastic seal member is composed of an annular cored bar and an elastic body fixed to the cored bar,
The cored bar has a cylindrical portion that fits to the inner peripheral surface of the outer member and a standing plate portion that falls from an end portion of the cylindrical portion, and has an L-shaped cross section facing the seal plate,
The elastic bodies are aligned with each other in the radial direction of the cored bar, the two side lips whose tips are in contact with the standing plate portion of the seal plate, and the tips are in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the seal plate aligned in the axial direction. With two adjacent radial lips,
The two side lips extend obliquely from the cored bar toward the outer diameter side,
The side lip on the inner diameter side extends from the tip of one of the two radial lips and constitutes a seal lip integrated with the radial lip.

  According to this structure, since it has two side lips which contact | connect the standing board part of a sealing plate, and two radial lips which a front-end | tip contacts or adjoins to the outer peripheral surface of a sealing plate, the outstanding muddy water resistance performance is obtained. . Further, since the side lip on the inner diameter side extends from the tip of one of the two radial lips to form an integral seal lip, the seal lip structure of the bearing sealing device can be simplified, so that the cross-section of the sealing device can be simplified.

There may be.

In the bearing sealing device of the present invention, the sealing device cross-sectional height, which is the radial length from the inner diameter surface of the seal plate in the bearing sealing device to the outer diameter surface of the elastic seal member, may be 9 to 15 mm. .
Since the cross-sectional height of the sealing device is 9 to 15 mm, muddy water resistance can be improved without causing an increase in weight. If the cross-sectional height of the sealing device is lower than 9 mm, the bearing sealing device having the structure having the two side lips and the two radial lips cannot be established. If the height is higher than 15 mm, the radial dimension of the bearing becomes large and the bearing This is not preferable because it increases the weight.

An example of a wheel bearing equipped with a bearing sealing device according to a proposed example related to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. This proposed example is applied to a double row tapered roller bearing type wheel bearing classified as a first generation type. In this specification, the side closer to the outer side in the vehicle width direction of the vehicle when attached to the vehicle is referred to as the outboard side, and the side closer to the center of the vehicle is referred to as the inboard side.
The wheel bearing 20 includes an outer member 21 and an inner member 22 that rotate relative to each other via double row rolling elements 23, and rotatably supports the wheel with respect to the vehicle body. . The rolling element 23 is formed of a tapered roller, and is formed on the inner periphery of the outer member 21. Double row conical rolling surfaces 24 adjacent to each other on the small diameter side, and the inner members facing the rolling surfaces 24 respectively. It is interposed between double-row conical rolling surfaces 25 formed on the outer periphery of 22. The inner member 22 is a split inner ring in which two bearing inner rings 22A are arranged in the axial direction. The rolling elements 23 are held by a holder 26 for each row. Here, the outer member 21 is a fixed member, and the inner member 22 is a rotating member. Both ends of the bearing space between the outer member 21 and the inner member 22 are sealed by bearing sealing devices 1 and 11, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the bearing sealing device 1 provided at the inboard side end of the wheel bearing 20 is attached to the inner member 22 and the outer member 21, respectively, and the annular seal plate 2 and the elastic member facing each other. It consists of a seal member 3. The seal plate 2 is a member that becomes a slinger, and is a metal having an L-shaped cross section that includes a cylindrical portion 2a that fits to the outer peripheral surface of the inner member 22 and a standing plate portion 2b that rises from an end of the cylindrical portion 2a It is made. The elastic seal member 3 is obtained by fixing an elastic body 5 to an annular cored bar 4. The core metal 4 has a cylindrical portion 4a fitted to the inner peripheral surface of the outer member 21, and a standing plate portion 4b that falls from the end of the cylindrical portion 4a, and is opposed to the seal plate 2 in the axial direction. The cross section has an inverted L shape. The elastic body 5 is provided so as to cover the inner side of the cored bar 4, and has two side lips 5a and 5b and two radial lips 5c and 5d. The two side lips 5a and 5b are arranged side by side in the radial direction of the cored bar 4, extend from the standing plate part 4b of the cored bar 4 to the oblique outer diameter side, and the tip of each of the side plates 5a and 5b of the seal plate 2 It contacts the upright plate portion 2b.

It is formed so as to extend from the tip of one radial lip 5c extending to the side to constitute an integral seal lip. Other configurations are the same as those in the configuration example of FIG.

  In this way, when the side lip 5b on the inner diameter side is formed to extend from the tip of the radial lip 5c so as to constitute an integral seal lip, the seal lip structure of the bearing sealing device 1 can be simplified. It becomes easy to suppress the apparatus cross-sectional height H to 15 mm or less.
